What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord or the Landlord's superintendent/agent changed the locks to the rental unit without giving the Tenant replacement keys, and substantially interfered with the Tenant's reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit and harassed, coerced, obstructed, threatened or interfered with the Tenant.

The ruling

The Tenant's application was partially successful. The Landlord was ordered to pay the Tenant $200 for the Tenant's out-of-pocket expenses resulting from the Landlord's refusal to accept rent, and an additional $48 for the cost of filing the application.
